Cousins is now closed and has since been renamed TC's. Nicer bar than it used to be. Its at Converse and Fairview st. Most TS are pros simply because Surgeries are very very expensive, and is very difficult to find jobs once you start transitioning. (If speaking with a TS I would not suggest calling them a shemale, just fair warning. Tgirl is pretty much ok with all Trans-Women, but shemale and trannie, I would avoid those terms. lol (if you want success anyhow)
I know, I am one! lol
Anyhow hope it helps.

I'll be honest with you, most of the Tgirls you will meet are Pro's.
There is good reason for this however. Surgery is not covered by medical and is VERY VERY expensive. ( to have breasts, GRS. hair removal and trachial shave is about 50-70k by the time its all said and done. Also, as you may imagine, finding "normal" work is very very difficult, especially in the early stages of transitioning...unless you happened to get VERY lucky. This is why many trans women live BELOW the poverty level and therefore must do what they have to do...

Welllll, you may not want to say shemale (or trannie) if u r dealing with a TS. As That could be considered offensive (because using any male pronoun simply undermines who we are). You are best with using terms like T-girl, Trans-Women, TG's etc if you absolutelyMUST distinguish. In person, you are best using "girls" plain and simple. (Trust me on this, I know , cause I am one!)

There are 4 places to see Tgirls I know of currently. Tc's, Crystals, Vivianas, and office lounge.

Crystals, Vivianas, and office lounge seem to be mostly hispanic.
Tc's (where I usually go) Is much more mixed. Just depends on the night you go.

ive been to TC's once. didn't stay long cause i had to get up early the next day. but i had a great time and it was alot of fun. i used to know this very nice lady name jamie. havn't heard from her in a while though
